Fall, Football and Friends

Well can you believe it is the last week of August?  I'm longing for some good ole fall days, when the wind blows cool breezes and the leaves make a golden orange carpet over the yard and sidewalks.  We have had some cooler temps recently that are just a tease for what is to come!

Well with the fall season comes football!!  I love me some high school football and college football as well!  We will be heading up to the "hill" this weekend to call those Hawgs!!  We are also planning a weekend at the cabin, which I am looking sooooo forward to!  On Saturday we will scoot on up to Fayetteville to watch the Razorbacks season opener.  Love spending time with our family doing all these fun things!

I love clothes!  So... seeing all the cute new Razorback clothing items has motivated me to purchase a few new tops to wear to the games!  Not that I really need any motivation to buy clothes:).   Since red is my favorite color how fortunate am I that Arkansas's colors are red and white!  Go Hogs!

Last week was a busy one with Savannah starting back to school.  We had a back to school breakfast with about 15 of her friends coming to our house Monday morning for some really good food!   We have such good friends and their moms are always willing to help make things fun for the girls!  I got a little crafty and made a really cute wreath for the front doors!  Kinda puts us all in the mood for back to school when we pull up in the driveway and see the front doors.

Friday night was Meet The Wildcats night.  Savannah's cheer squad was introduced and performed their routine on the field.  Love watching the girls perform.  They are so talented.

Memories Of The First Day of School

Well it is mid August, lacking two days.  We are gearing up around here for another school year.  I was thinking back to my school days and all the excitement that circulated around the beginning of a new year.  The big question for me was always...."What would I wear the first day"?   I know that is pretty lame, but not when you are in junior high or high school, or even grade school for that matter!:) My best friend, Julie, who became my best friend in 4th grade and was by my side all through the years was the person who I would discuss this matter with for hours on end.  Mainly because we liked to match or dress alike on our first day of school!  Believe it or not we did this until our junior or senior year and even then we made sure our outfits were similar!  I cannot help but smile when I recount all those memories of planning and redoing our hair 10 times because we wanted to look absolutely perfect that first day!  Every girl should have a friend like this...one to share all your secrets with knowing they are safe!  I love you Julie, if you read this, I am so thankful for all the years we laughed, cried, ate too much and were just plain old silly.  I love you like a sister dear friend.  This is one of our MANY pics we had taken together in high school.  I still get tickled just looking at this!  I thought my hair looked so good!!  Oh my....!!  (All of my old pics of our first days of school are at my mom's house.  Someday I will post one of those!)



And BTW, thanks to a mom that was super talented in the sewing department I usually had some pretty sweet outfits!:) 

What are your favorite memories of a new school year?

Abundantly blessed....Lisa
